That city guard was bent on finding the money left by the siblings and was eager for them to enter the city as soon as possible. He didn't look carefully and just pushed them into the city.
"Go, go, don't come so late next time."
The girl was still a little worried and looked outside with every step she took. The younger brother had no choice but to pull his sister away.
That city guard's heart had almost flown to the silver.
He rolled his eyes and said to his companion.
"I've been holding it in for a day. I'll go to the front to relieve myself. Wait for me for a while!"
His companion probably knew his character and told him to come back quickly so that he wouldn't miss the closing time of the city gate. However, that person had already disappeared.
As for the siblings who entered the city easily, after making sure that those city guards couldn't see them, they immediately hid in the alley.
With the cover of the dark shadow, the two of them could barely avoid those patrolling city guards.
However, there was still a long distance from the Tai Ning Inn where the Gong family stayed.
After avoiding a group of patrolling guards, the two of them hid in a corner and rested for a while.
"Since it's to lie to him, why do you need to waste so much money?"
Zhu Yan was not like Xiaoyu who would call her sister affectionately.
This brat was so arrogant that even the topic he was looking for was a little stiff.
"I saw that you called me sister quite smoothly just now. Why don't you call me sister now?"
She said softly as she carefully poked her head out to look at both sides.
Zhu Yan's face immediately darkened, but at least he didn't leave in a huff.
"That's for acting."
"I'm also acting. Think about it, if that person finds out that we're lying to him, he'll definitely realize it immediately. At that time, you and I will be in trouble. "
They were now in the city and like turtles in a jar, they would be easily discovered.
She had brought twenty thousand taels of silver notes with her previously. The smallest denomination had already been used to buy clothes. The remaining lowest denomination was a one thousand taels of silver note.
When she thought that they had spent a thousand taels of silver to enter the city, her heart ached so much that it was bleeding.
But fortunately, although the city was heavily guarded, it was still considered peaceful.
It seemed that the one thousand taels of silver was useful.
"Where are we going?"
The two of them bent over and shuttled through the alley like two cats in the night, light and quiet.
"Go to the Gong Family. Oh right, I'm called Gong Ya now, the eldest daughter of the Gong Family. When we get back, don't say anything. Just listen to me, understand? "
Zhu Yan grabbed her sleeve. Lin Mengya looked back in confusion. What was wrong with this child?
"I don't want to go to that Gong family!"
The youth's deep voice carried a hint of stubbornness.
Lin Mengya thought he was afraid, so she turned around and held his hand to comfort him.
"Don't be afraid. The people from the Gong family are very nice. They won't make things difficult for you."
"No! I'd rather die than go! There wasn't a single good person here. They were all demons! Sooner or later, I will kill them all! "
Lin Mengya was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted.
Unlike her, no one had shown any kindness to this child since they had started on the ship.
It was no wonder that he hated the people of Wei Country so much.
But now was not the time to be willful.
Grabbing Zhu Yan's hand, the two of them skimmed through another alley.
The youth in her hand resisted more and more fiercely.
Lin Mengya had no choice but to let go of his hand, turn around and pinch his face hard.
"Why did you pinch me!"
The youth's voice was a little loud, and it startled the dog guarding the yard.
"Woof, woof, woof —"
The dog's barking alerted the people in the house. Immediately, someone opened the door and walked out from the yard next to her.
Lin Mengya pulled Zhu Yan and ran away as fast as she could.
From afar, she could still hear the man's scolding.
But she could clearly feel that Zhu Yan's attitude had softened.
This guy was really not as obedient and cute as her Xiaoyu.
"Have you calmed down?"
In the moonlight, Zhu Yan nodded hesitantly.
Lin Mengya knew that this child grew up in the Candle Dragon Cult. Even with the protection of his uncle, he had been influenced a lot.
This kind of child was more difficult to guide than a good baby like Xiaoyu.
If he was not careful, he would grow up crooked.
In order to have one less pervert and one more ambitious young man, she could only try her best to guide this child on the right path.
"I know you hate them, but Zhu Yan, there are not only bad people and good people in the world. Let me ask you, can you guarantee that those people who ran with us yesterday were all good people? "
Zhu Yan immediately shook his head. How could they all be good people?
"Although you were brought here, do you know that when those people auctioned you, it was the Gong family who helped me without hesitation? Of course, they did it for me, so I don't need you to bear the debt of gratitude. But to me, are the Gong family bad people? "
The youth continued to shake his head. In fact, with his intelligence, he certainly knew what Lin Mengya meant.
But how could the hatred disappear just because of a few words from her?
"But to the enemies of the Gong family, they, including me, must be eliminated. Zhu Yan, I'm not stopping you from taking revenge, but before you take revenge, you must at least find a sword that belongs to you and an armor that can protect you. If you can't find it, bear it and hold it in. As long as you are alive, there will be hope. "
In fact, Lin Mengya herself did not know that her teaching method was completely wrong.
Those who should be perverted would still be perverted, but it was a pervert who clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges.
Usually, when others described this kind of person, they would use one word, good and evil at the same time.
This time, Zhu Yan silently followed behind her, running along with her until they stopped in a small alley.
"What's going on?"
Lin Mengya muttered to herself, because the originally deserted Tai Ning Inn had many horse carriages and sedan chairs parked at this moment.
It was brightly lit inside, even the back door was not the least bit dark.
However, the Gong family who were guarding the door all had slight anger on their faces, looking as though they were angry but did not dare to say anything.
"Looks like someone has come looking for us. I told you, the people of Wei can't be trusted! Come, let's go out! "
Zhu Yan reacted and immediately pulled Lin Mengya's hand, preparing to leave.
But the latter made him stop.
"It's alright, let's see how the situation goes. The people of the Gong family will not betray me, and if I leave, I'll be a burden to them instead. You hide here, I'll think of a way. "
Looking for the Gong family was something that she had expected.
Since the other party wanted to capture her, then naturally they were targeting the Gong family.
Furthermore, when she had disguised herself and entered the Gong family's private room, it was possible that no one had seen her.
Looking at the Gong family's expressions, they were probably at a disadvantage again.
Zhu Yan was well hidden in a corner by her, but she was still a little worried, so she found some old and tattered straw mats and covered his body.
After confirming that he would not be discovered by anyone, she then carefully approached the back door of Tai Ning Inn.
She did not dare to get too close and could only hear the commotion inside.
After a gust of cold wind brushed past her, she turned her head and saw Baisu whose eyes were red.
"Master, where did you go?"
She had been missing for a day and night and Baisu was simply going crazy with anxiety.
If it wasn't for the mission that her master had given her, she would have long gone out to look for her.
"We'll talk about this next time. Tell me first, what happened now?"
They had a little bug on their bodies that could sense each other, so Baisu must have been watching them closely. Once she saw that the bug had a reaction, she would immediately find a chance to slip out.
Baisu pulled her a little further away and then said in a low voice.
"After yesterday's incident, the Rong family joined forces with a few other families and came to find us. They insisted that the person riding on the tiger was from the Gong family, but the Gong family refused to admit it. They even said that they deliberately did not want to release those people from the Gong family who were photographed. The Rong family was not in the right and there was no direct evidence, so they could only go back. During today's auction, the Rong family deliberately asked someone to raise the price. Since you were not here, they naturally had no scruples. In the evening, they came again and said that they found a witness, and they even implicated you. They said that you sent people over and wanted to ask for an explanation. At this moment, Eldest Young Master, Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master are quarreling with them! "
So that was the case. Lin Mengya felt a little guilty. After all, she still implicated the Gong family.
"What about now, what reason did Eldest Brother use to evade?"
Speaking of this, Baisu was a little embarrassed.
"Eldest Young Master also panicked. He was afraid that you would be taken away by those people, so he only said that you were not feeling well. Those people were getting more and more fierce, and I was afraid that Eldest Young Master would not be able to stop them sooner or later. I … I thought that Eldest Young Master and the others deliberately lost you, and I almost fought with them … "
Lin Mengya tapped her forehead helplessly. "What a loyal and devoted girl!" She was speechless.
Then, after whispering a few words in her ear, Baisu took her and jumped up the wall quietly.
As soon as they entered the room, Shang'er, whose eyes were swollen from crying, came up to them. Before she could say anything, there was a loud shout from outside.
"Gong Bin! You are pestering endlessly! Today, if you don't hand her over, don't even think about leaving Golden Warehouse City! "
That voice was full of anger and was very overbearing.
Gong Bin snorted coldly and his attitude was very tough.
"Xu Yanqing, I have been tolerating you because I respect you as an elder. Do you think that the Gong family is easy to bully? "
That person sneered for a while and then said.
"Not to mention that the origin of that girl from the Gong family is unknown, even if she is really the blood of the Gong family, I am not afraid! What's more, I am afraid that this person is a bastard picked up from somewhere! "
"You!"
The second and fifth elder of the Gong family slammed the table and stood up, while the people on the other side also stared at them, ready to fight.
Gong Bin's heart sank to the bottom.
Was he really going to fall out with them?
Forget it! The Gong family had tolerated for so many years, and he had had enough.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to stand up and scold them, he heard a woman's arrogant shout from the second floor.
"Uncle Xu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
